FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

​What are the student booklets?

Student booklets are character-driven activity workbooks where plant teachers guide learners through four interconnected segments: Plants (botanical science), Culture (global traditions), Humans (wellness and mindfulness), and Creativity (hands-on making). Each booklet is written entirely from the plant's perspective, transforming learning into a conversation with a botanical friend.

​

What age range are the student booklets designed for?

Our booklets are designed for 9+ with careful scaffolding for different developmental stages. Activities can be adapted for younger or older learners depending on ability and interest..

​

How many student booklets are released each season?

Each season features one comprehensive student booklet containing all three plant characters across all four segments (Plants, Culture, Humans, Creativity). For example, the Autumn 2025 student booklet includes activities for Apple, Echinacea, and Lion's Mane, all in one complete resource.

​

Can I buy just one character's booklet?

Absolutely! You can purchase individual character booklets based on your specific interests or curriculum needs. 

​

What's the difference between the magazine and student booklets?

• Magazine: Narrative content, Elceti World story, cultural articles, plant wisdom—designed for reading and inspiration

• Student Booklets: Interactive activities, worksheets, investigations, and projects—designed for hands-on learning and skill-building The booklets transform magazine content into kid-friendly activities that spark curiosity and deeper exploration.
